Chapter 218 The surroundings werent quiet , but even so , Dominick could hear his own frantic heartbeat .
He stared at Paisley , desperate for answers .
Paisley I dont want to talk to you about anything right now .
Paisley avoided his gaze and walked away .
But 1- Dominick tried to follow her , but Max stepped forward , blocking his path .
Dominicks eyes darkened , glaring coldly at Max .
Move , No , Max said , wearing his usual infuriatingly smug expression .
This is between me and Paisley its a family matter .
It has nothing to do with you , Dominick said , his tone laced with menace Family matter ? Max smirked .
Last I checked , you two are divorced .
Seeing Dominicks face , Max casually rubbed his brow .
Dont get so worked up its bad for your liver .
And stop frowning so much itll make you look old .
You Dominick was about to lose control .
At that moment , Jonathan emerged from the emergency room again , his face tense but not as grim as before .
Paisley , your daughter has a ruptured spleen .
Ruptured spleen .
Paisley repeated softly , her mind already racing with thoughts .
Yeah , fortunately , we caught it in time .
Its not too severe yet , but she needs surgery immediately , Jonathan explained Serenas condition to Paisley , Can her spleen be saved ? Paisley asked .
Without seeing the test reports or scans , she could only rely on Jonathan for information Paisley had a good understanding of the human bodys basic structure .
The spleen was the largest lymphatic organ in the body .
It stored blood , produced blood cells , removed aging red blood cells , and aided in immune responses .
For an adult , removing the spleen after a rupture didnt have too much impact on daily life .
But Serena was just three years old .
If her spleen was removed , it would definitely affect her body .
Jonathan frowned slightly but didnt make any definitive statements .
I know , Weve arranged for a consultation to try our best to save her spleen .
Graysons final check up results came back normal .
Other than external injuries , he had no other issues .
He was discharged that night and returned to Vanderbilt Manor .
Having been scared , injured , and crying nonstop at the hospital , Grayson fell asleep as soon as he got home .
Meanwhile , the other three members of the Vanderbilt family couldnt fall asleep .
My brother is still at the hospital .
He just called and said the surgery is done , Kayla said , glancing at the clock .
It was already very late Lauren and Reginald exchanged glances but didnt speak .
The living room atmosphere felt a little heavy .
1/2 20:31 Fri , 14 Feb Chapter 218 Kayla finally broke the silence .
Mom , Dad , do you think Serena could really be my brothers ? 家 33 % 血 13 Lauren and Reginalds eyes lit up .
When they thought that she could be their granddaughter , a subtle wave of happiness washed over them .
Earlier at the hospital , I overheard my brother and Paisley .
It seemed like my brother already suspected Serena was his daughter , so he asked Paisley , and she told him the child was blood type A But today , she said her daughters blood type is O.
If the child wasnt my brothers , thered be no reason for her to lie about it , even if shes type O.
So- Kayla suddenly stood up and declared , Shes likely my brothers daughter ! Your granddaughter ! Reginald and Lauren both felt Kaylas reasoning made sense .
Just as she said , if Serena werent from the Vanderbilt family .
Paisley couldve easily stated her real blood type .
There was no need to deceive Dominick .
With that in mind , both of them smiled .
Especially Lauren , who was over the moon .
She had been dreaming of having a cute granddaughter .
She imagined dressing her up like a little princess every day and taking her out for shopping and afternoon coffee .
Reginald was just as delighted .
The thought of that adorable child bouncing over to him and calling him Grandpa made him beam with joy .
However , he kept a level head and didnt let his excitement get the better of him .
Lets not jump to conclusions.
Ive already arranged for a genetic sample to be taken .
Once we do a paternity test with Dominick , well know for sure .
Kayla rolled her eyes .
Paisley wont agree to that , especially after what youve said , Mom .

She turned to her mother .
Theres no way shed let you claim her daughter .
From what she saw , Paisley made it very clear today she wanted nothing to do with them even going as far as slapping her mom .
Besides , who would want a grandmother who called them illegitimate ? Lauren suddenly remembered the slap she got from Paisley earlier .
She instinctively touched her cheek , still recalling the sting of it .
Angrily , she furrowed her brows and said , Who said I want to claim a granddaughter ? We havent even done the paternity test yet .
Who knows if the child is even my granddaughter ? Kayla glanced at her mom and said nothing , unimpressed .
Mom , keep denying , she thought to herself .
